necessary and useful to the message system?
The database contains message-IDs of already delivered messages. It
is used to suppress duplicate messages to the same users. Removing
the database may allow some (small) number of duplicates to be
delivered. You should have a line like:
EVENTS {
# expire messages and deliver.db entries
delprune cmd="cyr_expire -E 1" at=0300
}
in your cyrus.conf file. This ought to keep deliver.db from growing
out of bounds. If deliver.db has become corrupt, simply deleting it
is a good plan.
